Early Bird

Early Bird

2025·Ellie Dix

2 - 6 players
15 min

From BoardGameGeek

The quickest bird rules the roost in this fast-flying card game! Race to get rid of all your numbered bird food cards before the other players. Fend off sneaky squirrels, chase down wiggly worms, and build cozy birdhouses-while keeping up with the frantic, free-for-all fun! It's energetic, it's wild, and it's every bird for themselves. Play is simultaneous. Players aim to get rid of their cards by playing a card that is one number higher than the one on the discard pile... or by playing an identical number and shouting 'down' to change to descending numbers. But when a player plays a special action card, everyone must stop and do the action before play continues. The first player to successfully complete the action restarts play with any card. Get all your cards out to win. -description from the designer
